The Pennsylvania National Guard will be helping the state continue it's COVID-19 vaccination efforts.
Governor Tom Wolf signed a bill on Wednesday that allows the Guard to work with the state's Department of Health to develop plans for vaccination sites as well as distribute and administer the COVID-19 virus.
“This bill will support the National Guard and other state agencies in the planning process for community vaccination clinics once supply of COVID-19 vaccines increases,” Gov. Wolf said. “This service will help further expedite getting vaccine to Pennsylvanians across the state.”
Also on Wednesday, Gov. Wolf moved teachers and school employees into phase 1A of Pennsylvania's vaccine rollout.
